Alfred Palmer was a 20th century American photographer most prominent for his documentation of factory workers on the ‘home front’ during WWII. At age eleven he was traipsing around Yosemite carrying Ansel Adams’ heavy tripod for which he received a box Brownie camera as payment. In 1923, at the age of seventeen he began what would be his life work by pestering the port captain in San Pedro to sign him on as a crew member on the Dollar Lines’ President Monroe. That was the first of twenty three trips around the world on American ships. He used his cameras, his artistic eye and his technical expertise to capture images of indigenous cultures on every continent. These photographs are important as testimony to a world gone by, left behind as it were, to be replaced by the enormity of modern technology and often the neutralization of those cultures. As a staff photographer for National Geographic Magazine he suggested that they make films and since they ignored the idea he quit and went on to make documentary and travel films on his own and for American companies such as Standard Oil Co., Bank of America, American President Lines and world governments. His thousands of photographs have been preserved and catalogued by his daughter’s company and his world film library is housed at Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut. These images are a valuable part of twentieth century history to be used by educational facilities, corporations, news media, libraries and by personal collectors worldwide. They are irreplaceable original images on a human level that document an era of extraordinary activity and diversification.
